1 Samuel 9:3-10 And the asses of Kis, Saul's father, being lost, Kis said to his son Saul, Take with thee one of the servants, and arise, and go seek the asses.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the asses of Kis, Saul's father, being lost, Kis said to his son Saul, Take with thee one of the servants, and arise, and go seek the asses. ⁴ So when they had passed through mount Ephraim, they passed through the land of Selcha, but found them not. Then they passed through the land of Segalin, but they were not there, then they passed through the land of Jamin but did not find them. ⁵ And when they came to Siph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, Come, let us return, lest my father, forgetting the asses, be concerned for us. ⁶ Thereupon the servant said to him, Behold, I pray thee, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man in high repute. Whatever he saith will surely come to pass. Now therefore let us go, that he may tell us which way we should go. ⁷ And Saul said to the servant who was with him, But behold, if we go what can we carry to the man of God? For the bread in our vessels is spent, and we have nothing else with us to carry to the man of God. ⁸ In reply to which the servant again said to Saul, Behold I have in my hand a quarter of a shekel of silver, thou shalt give that to the man of God, that he may tell us our way. ⁹ Now heretofore in Israel, when any one went to consult God, he spoke thus, Come let us go to the Seer; for the people in former times called the prophet, Seer. ¹⁰ Then Saul said to his servant, It is well, Come, let us go. So they went to the city, where the man of God was.
